Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA), Institute of Archaeology (IoA), University College London (UCL) was commissioned by the Hill Partnership to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of residential development on part of the former Channels Golf Club, Belsteads Farm Lane, Little Waltham, Essex. A total of 49 archaeological trial trenches were excavated across the 10.53ha of the Phase 3c, 3d and 5 development areas. Of these, 30 trenches were established to contain archaeological remains. A low to moderate density of ditches, gullies and pits of Late Iron Age/Early Roman date (1st century AD) was found across the southern half of the Phase 5 area. These remains probably define agricultural and possible settlement land use, a further part of which was previously found in the Phase 3a and 3b areas. A low density of ditches and pits of medieval date (c.13th century) was found in the west and south-west of the Phase 5 area. These features likely also constitute agricultural and possible settlement land use, a further part of which was previously recorded in Phase 3a. Development Phases 3c and 3d contained a low density of only undated remains. It is demonstrated that the southern part of the Phase 5 development area contains significant archaeological remains. These are overlain by a c.0.30-0.50m thickness of overburden deposits. It is probable that intrusive construction groundworks will adversely impact such remains where present across this part of the site. |
